WILF 46,175 Posted August 27 Author Report Share Posted August 27 Is it just me, or is Chelsea becoming a bit of a running joke move for players ?……seriously, what neutral watches a Chelsea without Cole Palmer in that side ? 43 first team players (city and Liverpool have about half that)……who go’s there if you have ambition to play regular football ? 7 year contract on £300k a week is nice, but f***ing hell like, surely you want to be a regular part of things ? Jao Felix walks into most sides in Europe and he will be a bit part player at Chelsea…..is it just me, or is that a total lack of ambition or what ? Why the f**k is a lad like Ivan Toney going to a club like Chelsea ?….god forgive me, but a better move would be the yids ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tottenham signed Solanke, I think that will prove to be good business.. he should do well with Maddison and Son around him, a side to watch now 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 26,995 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 5 hours ago, WILF said: I have started coaching an adult team this year and I’m using a “false” 9 because the forward they brought in is too fat and slow to stretch defences but he is strong and can hold a ball up and don’t have a bad passing ability, so I’m using no traditional centre forwards at all……I’m using a 6 and 2 x 10s with the 9 at the point with quick wingers, bouncing a pass off the 9 from the 10 and then the 10 is popping it into the pocket behind full backs for the wide over lapping players……puts a slower 9 who still has not a bad ability to score goals in more space around the edge of the 18 with younger, fitter 10s and wingers driving in. Basically, it’s what you use when your 9 is in tatters ! Man City were outstanding without an out and out striker for a couple of years, it can be done ..but... for me a striker is what you play through/up to.. hit his feet and get around him, hit the channels to relieve a bit of pressure to a willing runner... we've all played with the fat striker who was a pro back in the day, great touch, can pass and see things, get 2 runners off him.and you're away, at our level I like that.. i finished playing with just that type of man, a little younger than me but overweight and no wish to keep fit, but by christ he could play... Rob Speakmam, came down from Wales to and signed for City only played 20 odd games as a youngsters before some bad injuries, score 3 league goals (he liked to remind us! Lol)... but could play, you know the score mate, nothing wasted, everything for a reason.. we were a team of old players who had all done a bit abd young players that never would, I had enough in the end..kicking a ball over my head and expect me to chase it at nearly 40, f**k that! Lol Anyway, that was similar with him.playing in that hile with a couple of young runners..., I ended up playing up.front with Speaky a few times in those game, a bit of a target man to change it up, but we could both play and my midfield days were way behind me, get 45 out of.me in there then chuck me up front!

Lol How about big Lukaku back at Utd? He is the quintessential swashbuckling centre forward who can release The likes of Amad, Rashford and Garnacho. Given last season's tally of goals which was embarrassing, it makes perfect sense to me. Give me a like for the word 'quintessential' if nothing else.Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean. I don't pretend to understand the modern game and his style doesn't seem to fit. But f**k me he can score goals and makes goals. What's not to like?

jukel123 7,843 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Dont think Toney has moved yet. I think he will go to Saudi. Papers are full of the exchange of Sancho for Sterling. Please no. Man U need a centre forward not another winger. Part of the reason Sancho is available is that he was made redundant by Garnacho who is a more reliable player. I'm still hoping that there's a plan to sign a goalscorer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's all we can afford. Fat? Rooney was a fat b*****d, that's why Fergie played him every game, to keep his weight down. He's even fatter now. An obese Lukaku is just what we need. I would not like to mark him. I'd throw a sickie if I found out it was my job to nullify his threat. 96 goals in 42 games for United and a career average of a goal,every two games in elite competitions. A lot better stats than any other player we have. Edited August 27 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
